This series contains files related to Division 169's relationship with the Department of Environmental Conservation, the agency by which its members were employed. The heart of the series consists of minutes and agendas for labor/management meetings. These contractually-mandated meetings between PEF representatives and DEC managers took place several times each year. At these meetings, issues related to interpretation of the current PEF contract were discussed. Also included are files on DEC policies and operations, subject files on issues that were discussed at labor/management meetings, and files on DEC-specific PEF committees. The Health and Safety Committee files in this series relate to the PEF/ENCON - DEC Joint Statewide Health and Safety Committee, which should not be confused with the statewide PEF Health and Safety Committee. Files from statewide PEF's Health and Safety Committee are found in Series 4.
